Journey


Poem #3: Journey
 
Down, 
Up!
What can be expected?
Not much!
If you do not jump,
We can all see limitations.
But the Master can create innovations,
Not the popular way!
But there is a way;
Nothing can be achieved,
As long, as you are deceived!
Far from this road shall I travel,
Where all my riches shall unravel!
Something can be said for uniqueness,
It creates oneness!
Often in those joyful times of youth, 
I sought not the advice of elders, 
but rather chose my own ways.
Which challenged with greater difficulty my days!
One can learn, but a price must be paid,
Will it be stop and listen or wish and mourn?
Life is great, but do not make this mistake,
Take your life for another's sake!

Believe Achieve Receive Success, even when you are told you are nothing & you can show everyone, just how much wiser is God in heaven, He makes no junk as I've been lead to lead most of my life thinking I was, but now in Texas, life is far better! As a Beaumount Toastmaster, should you still have questions or doubts as I've faced most of my life but especially the last 25 years of my life, thanks to UAM's neglect/disrespect! 870-723-5530 Mr. Leonard/460-1158 University of Arkansas Head 1992-today Coach Early www.kfdm.com/features/pay-it-forward/pay-it-forward-beaumont-man-dedicated-to-educating-children-about-bicycle-safety My work "Challenged Conquistadors, Inc.", was referenced to Harvard University Howard Gardner's Book The Unschooled Mind, 1991, in 1996 by Southern Arkansas University Professor Emeritus Ida Flemister! I was to teach school but due to my making Arkansas accessible with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, SAU ensured I was not allowed to teach school with 1997 Arkansas Governor's Commission for People with Disabilities Teaching Scholarship, thus last year in Beaumont, Texas; Texas Governor Abbott was not allowed to ensure I taught school since May 2017, nor March 2018. Freedom is not for everyone it seems, as the Sergeant at Arms, Toast Master, & National Science Teachers Association Member 2261324?
